Filming on the third season has been held up due to the pandemic. I think they were (or are or will be) resuming filming this month.

When I was a kid, we would always belt out as a family the la-la-lalalala along with this song every Christmas. Not sure what that says about us... 🤔

The Wikipedia article is a distillation of older data (their current data puts the US at 121) from Vision of Humanity, a supposedly non-partisan site tracking data on peace and security worldwide. I've not heard of them, so no clue on their reliability or validity in their data.

I never got the Yuuzhan Vong. I'm not sure force-immune sadistic aliens, who seemed to be a cross between the Githyanki and Cenobites, was really what Star Wars was crying out for.

Might help to google it with a steak, I think.
